Green-plate vehicle coverage

Route-dependent; one day may work, but overnight logic is checked first.
Coverage confidence
Medium: strong when base city, hotel, and season are aligned.
- -Fukui requests must be confirmed with green plate or otherwise licensed commercial passenger vehicles before quotation.
- -The practical base is checked against Fukui / Kanazawa and hotel anchors: Fukui city, Awara Onsen, or Eiheiji-area stays above JPY 20,000/night.
- -A same-day plan is possible only when pickup, parking, meals, and return timing remain comfortable.
Route value
Fukui is treated as a P1 deep route inside Chubu and Hokuriku. The point is not how many places can be listed, but whether the prefecture can become a coherent private route for one party.
Fukui city, Awara Onsen, or Eiheiji-area stays above JPY 20,000/night is the first operating anchor. WAKO reads drive time, seasonal risk, meal windows, luggage, and return pressure before recommending the order.
Fukui gives contemplative depth and craft outside the obvious Hokuriku circuit.
Private-day planning context
Fukui uses only existing evidence: standard private-car day rates, exact destination matches, recorded hotel anchors, and overnight boundary logic.

Private-route value
Use these only when season, weather, guest pace, and road timing support a calmer private detour.
